Political Patronage Paid With Bond Money: Sunday/Monday Full Disclosure Network Cable TV

Los Angeles, CA. Sunday on L.A. Cable Channel36 Full Disclosure Network presents a two-part interview entitled “Political Patronage Paid With Bond Money” featuring Jon Coupal, president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association on the little known bonds known as COPs (Certificates of Participation) that are being used by California cities, counties and school districts........

Coupal tells Full Disclosure host Leslie Dutton that COP bonds are being used ”to get a lot of cash up front to pay off their political patronage friends and then stick future generations of taxpayers without any voter approval of this long-tem debt.” and,

“The law has been carefully crafted by those that have a vested interest in the process, those in local governments, political, elected officials, bureaucrats and of course the bond business, the bond underwriters, the bond counsels and bond marketers.
